HI
hi all,
i am using the kernel 2.4.20-8(Redhat). i installed kernel version 2.6.15.5.
the steps i followed right after untarring and unzipping the kernel are:
make oldoconfig
make
cp arch/i386/boot/bzimage /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.15-5
(i created the hard link to system map & config for the present kernel)
make modules_install
reboot
for this i edited for the timer kernel as :
title timer
root (hd0,0)
kernel /timer ro root=/dev/hda1 ####edited here
initrd /initrd-2.6.15.5.img #####edited here
i booted for the timer kernel (2.6.15.5) , now it gave oops message as : (the last oops message was not there)
Warning: unable to open an initial console
kernel pasnic - not syncing : no init found . try again passing init= option to kernel .
I had faced a similar problem and I found out on one of the forums (I'm sorry I'm unable to point to the exact thread), where it was advised to manually install grub after adding the 2.6.x series kernel to the grub.conf.
So, just change back your new grub entry to :
kernel /timer ro root=LABEl=/
initrd /initrd-2.6.15-.img
and then reinstall grub manually with:
grub-install /dev/hda
